📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
White line, green teeth, sun on my neck
Everybody leaning like the point was already wrecked
I heard the hush get dressed for a fall
Then I put my name back on the ball

[Pre-Chorus]
One slip, one roar, one shadow at my heel
I bent but I did not kneel

[Chorus]
I heard a record waiting like a locked back door
I came up swinging from the underneath
Crowd got quiet, then the court learned me
The grass wouldn't close its mouth on me

[Verse 2]
Bad bounce laughing, chalk dust on my shoes
Little white bullet trying to carry bad news
I fed it back with a snarl and a grin
Made the whole long afternoon start over again

[Bridge]
undefined
Somebody count it wrong, somebody count it twice
I am still moving in the bright green knife

[Chorus]
I heard a record waiting like a locked back door
I came up swinging from the underneath
Crowd got quiet, then the court learned me
The grass wouldn't close its mouth on me

[Outro]
Let it bite, let it bend, let it test my knees
The grass wouldn't close its mouth on me
